Thomas Mehan, editor of the Gar
dener's Monthly, than whom there is
probably no better authority in the
country, says: "Our Northern trees
all hardwood trees-make many rings
a year, sometimes as many as a dozen.

growth are very small, and the first
very large; and as as a consequence
the annual growth can always be de-
termined.

stand climatic changes, and to adapt
themselves to the varying conditions
of different countries. st. Louis Re

1t takes year OF two for raspber-
ry plants to reach their best bearing
onditions, and it is best to start new
plants every third year. The average
life of raspberry plantations is about
six years; by setting new plants once
in three years, the advantage is gained
Of having two sets of plants, one COM
ing into full bearing as the other is
going out. Plants may be set either in
the spring or fall.
Regarding strawberry rust opin-
ions differ. Some ascribe the cause to
too much moisture, others to excess of
manure on the plants, while it is also
claimed that it is due to the effects of
too much heat from the sun. What is
known as rust or blight, may, howev-
er, be traced to q minute worm,
which does the mischief by working
around the plants. 1t is suggested
that the best remedy is to burn light
covering of straw over the plants. st.
